The Wii golf glove

[Shu Uesugi] is filling a controller void that Nintendo has yet to address. He picked up a golf glove from Target and incorporated it into an air guitar interface. Give the video after the break a chance, you’ll start to see the full potential of this build about three and a half minutes into it. Using an Arduino, a Wii nun-chuck, and his flex-senor adorned glove [Shu] can play individual notes, strum cords, and play around with sound effects such as distortion.

Wow, Shusaku, it is a cool invention! Do you think you can create a piano version? It would be great if you could make a “touch pad” piano on a flexible sheet; something like you can carry as a role in your bag.

@Mike: Actually, Abrams Gentile Entertainment invented the PG (or rather sto- *ahem* /borrowed/ the idea of the “DataGlove” and made it cheaper/crappier) not Nintendo. Nintendo didn’t even manufacture/market it; it was sold by Mattel (U.S.) and PAX (Jpn).
